In 2020, Malone revealed thereason why he continued to ink tattooson his face during an interview withGQ Style.
“I’m a ugly-ass motherf—er,” he said. “It does maybe come from a place of insecurity, to where I don’t like how I look, so I’m going to put something cool on there so I can look at myself and say, ‘You look cool, kid,’ and have a modicum of self-confidence, when it comes to my appearance.”
Earlier that year, hetold PEOPLEhe was hard on himself for his appearance, “I sound better on the radio. I got a face for radio I guess is what I’m really trying to say.”
When asked if he really felt that way, he told PEOPLE, “Yeah, but now I kinda look unique because I ruined my face. I might get a lot of bad-guy roles I guess. Because I look tough.”
